Humans are digitizing every aspect of life, translating every thought, every endeavor into something that can be read on a computer screen. This act of translation is creating infinite bits of new information — big data, to use the phrase popular in the world of technology.

The University of Arkansas at Little Rock on Monday announced plans to establish the UALR George W. Donaghey Emerging Analytics Center. The center features data visualization systems that the university said "are among the first of their kind in the world."

The 10th anniversary Gala of the UALR Donaghey College of Engineering and Information Technology honored Dr. Mary Good, the college’s founding dean. The event was held at UALR’s Jack Stephens Center, and Good’s friend, President Bill Clinton, was the keynote speaker.
